"... realistic characters, diverse families, the flutters of first love, beautiful horses and an idyllic countryside setting... " - Amazon Reviewer

"... a horse story but much more than that... " - Amazon Reviewer

Ever since her mom died, Perry's been keeping up a frantic pace trying to keep her twenty-five-year-old horse healthy, her stepfather and her four-year-old brother happy, and her memories of her mom alive.

That frantic pace is the problem, though. The big, busy city is wearing everybody down, including Perry.

She was willing to give up her boyfriend, and even her best friend, to focus on her family, Lief and Justin, and her horse, North, but despite all Perry's efforts, Justin's sad and stressed, Lief's vulnerable, and North's health is in jeopardy.

When Perry inherits a house in the quiet, friendly town of Perryside, a move could be just what they all need... if only Perry wasn't terrified of leaving the only place she's ever known her mother.

Will Perry's memories survive a move to Perryside? But without the move, will her family survive?

Enjoy a brand-new series from Tudor Robins, author of the much-loved Island and Stonegate series.

PRAISE FOR APPALOOSA SUMMER -- BOOK ONE, ISLAND SERIES

"What a beautiful story. Slip into summer on a maritime island, where a teenage girl is escaping painful memories and savoring independence for the first time. If you're a horse-person, you'll appreciate the accurate details and descriptions of equestrian life. If you're just looking for a great story, look no further." - Natalie Keller Reinert, Author of the Eventing, and Show Barn Blues series.

"This is a richly descriptive novel, making you feel as though you're really there. The characters are well-drawn and realistic, and the romance is a slow-build but pays off beautifully in the end. This is the kind of novel you just want to step into and live in - the location, the people, everything seems idyllic yet realistic. I read it in one night, I couldn't put it down!" - Kate Lattey, author of the Pony Jumpers series.

"This is a lovely, delicate romance about two teens in mourning. What I loved about this book is that the boy and the girl learn from and heal one another... I loved the witty dialogue and Jared was the type of hero with whom I could actually fall in love--that's something I seldom find in books nowadays! As an author of horse-related fiction myself, I found all of the details about showing and riding to be believable." - Mary Pagones, author of the Fortune's Fool series.

"Appaloosa Summer takes us on a sweet journey of a teenage girl dealing with loss, deciphering family relationships, growing up, and falling for a boy - all in one summer... and on a quaint country island. Tudor Robins writes so beautifully simple that the characters, scenery, smells, and feelings come to life on the page... I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet, well-written story." - Brittney Joy, author of the Red Rock Ranch series
